Episode 36: The 2nd Video Game Episode

Cerise and Vicky load up on Mountain Dew and trek into the digital void. Will they find five more video game movies for their ever-growing list? Or will they find only despair and madness? The answer is yes. 12:12 – Mortal Kombat (2021, Simon McQuoid) – Cerise and Vicky are forced to climb a mountainous trash heap – is the smell truly toxic, or merely extremely unpleasant? 36:10 – Street Fighter (1994, Steven E. DeSouza) – Cerise and Vicky are forced to ponder the riddle of the Blanka – is Batman '66-style campy humor enough to redeem one of the granddaddies of the video game movie genre? 53:40 – Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001, Hironobu Sakaguchi) – Cerise and Vicky look upon the works of a video game legend, and despair. 1:10:10 – Alone In The Dark (2005, Uwe Boll) – Cerise and Vicky brave the caverns of mid-2000s cinematic detritus in search of the secret origin of the most infamous video game movie auteur of all time. 1:26:15 – Fatal Frame (2014, Mari Asato) – Cerise and Vicky rejoice upon encountering an oasis of a movie – until they watch its second half.

Om Podcasten

Cerise Townsend and Vicky Osterweil are ranking every movie ever made - from every country, every filmmaker, every decade and every *every*. From Paul Thomas Anderson to Paul WS Anderson; from Cannon to Canal+; from movies they can't believe exist to movies that just shouldn't exist. They're going to rank every one of them from best to worst of all time, and they believe that this is an entirely reasonable goal.
